The following argument concludes that Prunty County should "undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago" because they attempt to improve highway safety failed. This conclusion may true, but several flaws in the argument make it sounds unconvincing. The unwarranted assumption that argument is based on such as changing Prunty County project will improve highway safety, decrease accident in Butler County just because of their project and employ Butler County's project will improve highway safety in Prunty County, rendering the Argument logically flawed. Firstly, the author state that because of, many drivers are exceeding the speed limit and the number of accidents has not decreased attempt to improve highway safety in Prunty County failed and another project must undertake. Logically one concludes that because of the law did not apply correctly the attempt failed and the petrol must control the drivers in order to respect exceeding the speed limit, instead of undertaking another project.

One plane that works in one city this can not be worked in other cities. Every city has special characteristics that base on them the plan must be designed. For instance, in Kabul's street drivers did not attend to traffic light and there must be a traffic officer in order to obey them. so one cannot conclude that in all city in the world must traffic officers present in streets.

In 1819, Oregon was claimed by Russia, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States. Later, Spain and Russia gave up their claims, which left Britain and the U.S. to agree to a “joint occupation” of Oregon. Oregon was discovered during the Lewis and Clark expedition, but the route that they took to Oregon was too dangerous. In 1824, Jedediah Smith found a better way called the South Pass to get to Oregon. As a result, missionaries who made converts along the way traveled to Oregon. In 1843, the missionary’s reports had inspired about 1000 settlers to head to Oregon.
In Israel on the Appomattox author Melvin Patrick Ely uses the case study of Prince Edward County, Virginia, to shift the historiography surrounding the treatment of free blacks in the Antebellum South. While the current historiography paints the Antebellum South as attempting to subjugate free blacks into a system “‘as near to slaver as possible’” (p. 437), Ely posits that because of the existence of black slavery “Southern whites felt secure enough to deal fairly and even respectfully with free African Americans” (p. x). And though Ely agrees that “laws and public statements about free blacks in the Old South constitute a sordid parade of mean-spiritedness” (p. 436), the actual behavior of white citizens of Prince Edward County rarely align with “the path their social ideology prescribed” (p. 440). In going against the previously well-established understanding of the relationship between free blacks and whites, Ely has placed upon himself the large onus of disproving so many who have come before him, and the approach he takes within Israel on the Appomattox is as fascinating as it is convincing.

In the hot days near the end of June 1998, my mother dealt with me kicking inside of her stomach. Similarly, in Washington, D.C., Senator John McCain dealt with figurative kicks in the stomach as the bill he created was being shut down. Determined and persuasive, big tobacco companies aimed their advertisements at teenagers more than ever before. Some members of Congress wanted to end the advertising, while others thought about the upcoming November election and did not want to be put on the bad side of big tobacco companies, who were some of their major campaign backers. Back in Louisville, Kentucky, my dad sat with my very pregnant mother; at the same time, he held a cigarette between his teeth and read the Courier Journal, which read all about the tobacco bill.

The writer is precise and clear in the manner he points out at facts and arguments he presents along for example on the personal nature of bikes usage which he says should be the reason why the decision should be left to individuals to make. The arguments presented in the article are logical, and the writer proves consistently that the helmet law seems to be unfair to the bikers. He uses different facts from statistical percentages of trends of accidents to logical comparisons of different cases such as golfers. The argument in the article can be considered to be complete because it is conclusive in its design and it is fair to the extent of the arguments
